"They used to be able to do this with an INI file, then the registry, now they need a full cloud to do the same thing. Poorly engineered / over engineered anyone ??"
No, it's worse than that. The data reside on the hard drive owned by the one that copy of Windows serves.
It's poorly engineered if the goal is to serve the user, but I don't think it is. It's maliciously engineered, if anything.
